The study is further extended to investigate the collective vibrational properties of these superheavy nuclei by estimating the energies of their giant monopole resonances (GMR), commonly referred to as the “breathing mode.” These GMR energies are computed using both scaling and constraint approaches, and the results are benchmarked against those obtained from other theoretical models, such as the relativistic random phase approximation (RPA) and time-dependent mean-field calculations. To ensure a comprehensive analysis, comparisons are also made with known results for lighter nuclei, specifically zirconium (Zr) isotopes in the neutron number range <i>N</i> = 42–86 and oxygen (O) isotopes with <i>N</i> = 10–36.

The detector’s performance was evaluated through a series of measurements, including <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> characteristics, signal-to-noise ratio, dose rate dependence, linearity, photoconductive gain, sensitivity, rise time, and reproducibility, using an X-ray tube source. The device underwent annealing, which led to improvements in sensitivity, with a linear response and increased photoconductive gain. The reproducibility of the device was found to be slightly higher than the IAEA’s recommended limit. Following this, a comparative sensitivity mapping study was performed using two synchrotron micro-beam facilities—NSLS and DLS—employing different micro-beam sizes. The investigation explored the effects of beam size, bias polarity, and step displacement on the spatial resolution and sensitivity of the device. Results showed that sensitivity was influenced by beam size, with smaller beam and step sizes yielding higher sensitivity, likely due to the priming effect. Bias polarity also played a significant role, with negative bias producing higher photocurrents, particularly near nitrogen lines in the diamond. Additionally, the annealed sample exhibited better homogeneity and faster rise times compared to the un-annealed version. The findings highlight the optimal conditions for synchrotron-based dosimetric measurements, providing valuable insights for improving detector performance in applications such as radiotherapy dosimetry, radiobiology, and beam monitoring at synchrotron facilities.</p>","PeriodicalId":730,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters","volume":"23 3","pages":"303 - 326"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148196280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A significant contribution of the lithosphere to the flux of slow neutrons during seismic activity has been established, reaching up to 10–12% above the background level, relative to the long-term background level, defined as the mean value over analogous periods without geophysical disturbances. Observed variations in slow neutron intensity provide additional signals that may serve as potential earthquake precursors.
